Kinetic energy is the energy that is possessed by an object that is moving. It is calculated by one-half the product of the mass and the square of the velocity of the object. We calculate as follows:<span>

For the truck,
KE = mv^2 / 2
KE = 20000 kg (110 km/h (1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km))^2 / 2
KE = 611111.11 J

For the astronaut,
KE = 80.0 kg (27500 km/h</span>(1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km)<span>)^2/2
KE = 611111.11 J

The kinetic energy possessed by the two bodies are the same.

The figure below shows two forces A=15 N and B=5 N acting on an object. What is the
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

18.03 N

Explanation:

From the fiqure below,

Using parallelogram law of vector

R² = 15²+5²-2×5×15cos(180-60)

R² = 225+25-150cos120°

R² = 250-150(-0.5)

R² = 250+75

R² = 325

R = √325

R = 18.03 N

Hence the resultant force of the object is 18.03 N
